PEORIA — A McDonald’s was robbed at gunpoint Monday night by two people, police said.

About 9 p.m., a man wearing a mask and gloves approached the counter of the McDonald’s at 2920 NE Adams St. and said to an employee, “Stick up, it’s a robbery. You have five seconds to open the register or I’ll blow your head off,” according to the police report.

The employee told police in addition to the masked man was a masked woman with gloves pointing a gun at her head. The employee opened the register drawer, the man grabbed the entire drawer, and the two fled by running across Adams Street.

Police were able to look at surveillance videos from McDonald’s. The man was described as about 5-foot-10 while the woman was shorter and wearing pink lipstick. Both were wearing black clothing.
